Norbert Haslacher, a successful manager and IT expert, will head the Frequentis Group, an international provider of communication and information solutions for safety-critical applications. Before his Frequentis assignment, Haslacher spent more than 15 years at CSC (Computer Sciences Corporation), a global IT services company focusing on application development, systems integration, outsourcing, cloud, big data, and cyber security.

During his tenure with Frequentis, Haslacher has been able to contribute his extensive software knowledge as well as his broad international experience.

In the event of a national crisis, multiple forces must work together to ensure an emergency situation is controlled as quickly as possible. Achieving a common operational picture is a challenge when multiple forces are operating independent systems with fragmented workflows and subsequently, manual workflows that aim to bridge the gap are inefficient and ineffective, as well as costly.

So, what is the answer?

In a military scenario timing is critical. The swift allocation of resources, accurate air situation picture and rapid response times are essential. Delays due to loss of tower services, or even just poor visibility due to bad weather, could be catastrophic to a mission. These benefits are not restricted to operations in deployed situations and natural disasters: they can also play a supportive role in peacetime operations. RVT is about much more than replacing the out-of-the-window view.
